Kiss Of Love: Where Are Those Who Are Proud Of The East?


Penned By B D Narayankar

These bands of invading nights,
These spidery tentacles
These handful of humans breeding darkness;
hanging honour from the scaffold
Where are they,
the defenders of the virtuous?
Where are they,
who are proud of the Orient?
Where are they?

These lecherous eyes in quest of illusive beauty
These carnal inklings chasing the lips,
These burnt and ashen flower buds
These hollow demonstrations for sale
Where are they,
the defenders of the virtuous?
Where are they,
who are proud of the Orient?
Where are they?

Remember,
you are the daughter of Eve!
Radha's child, Yashoda's breed;
Prophet's race, Zuleikha's seed
Where are they,
the defenders of the virtuous?
Where are they,
who are proud of the Orient?
Where are they?

Call the guides of the nation
show them these sights.
this view
Bring on those who are defenders of the virtuous;
Bring on those who are proud of the Orient,
Bring them on! Bring them on!
